Located in the northwest of Caesar's Empire, the Holy See of Priest is about the size of the Kingdom of Sver, bordering the Caesar Empire and surrounded by several countries of the same size.

The Papal State did not come into being in a vacuum, it was formerly part of the Holy Macedonian Empire, founded by a new pope when the empire was divided. The pope, who was flexible and open-minded, knew that theism had begun to be abandoned by the times, as evidenced by the schism and wars of Holy Macedonia. If the church persists, it will inevitably die out, so after that, it simply does not mention theism, and instead preaches that divine power is the supreme power of many powers, equivalent to the incarnation of God, which can guide people's actions.

Although this statement is equivalent to putting a coat of power on theism, the fledgling state of Priest has finally escaped the changes of the times that followed, and has survived for nearly a thousand years now.

In the history of the Holy See, there have been more than a dozen popes, all of whom have adhered to the philosophy of the first popes, who have taken it as their mission to spread the glory of divine power and spare no effort to spread their influence to every country on the continent. And this effort did have a certain effect, and up to now, some of the surrounding countries have been deeply influenced by the ideas of the Holy See, and even such as the Gold Coast Federation, Sophia's homeland, and two or three other small countries are completely controlled by the will of the Holy See, and have completely become some form of vassal.

But it would have been much more difficult for Priest to go outward, and further south to them was the Union of Mercantile City-States, and in the words of the current Pope, St. Francis III, "these ugly men have been corrupted by gold coins." Their only belief is money, and their whole body smells of gold coins, and even their veins flow with golden liquid." From this sentence it is proved that the idea of the Holy See did not have much audience in the Union of Mercantile City-States at all. Only a small church stands in the central block, symbolizing that the Holy See has not yet given up the land.

To the east of the Papal State of Priest is the huge Caesar Empire, such a military supremacy country naturally disdains the doctrine of the Holy See, and the emperor himself cannot allow another power independent of the royal family to exist, so after hundreds of years of efforts by several generations of popes, it is only a few scattered believers who have been cultivated. However, the Holy See has always been proud of this result, believing that they have succeeded in sowing countless seeds in Caesar's Empire, and that there will definitely be a day when they will blossom and bear fruit.

In addition to these two directions. Further west is the wilderness outside of civilization, and beyond a forest to the north is the territory of the Orcs, so the influence of the Holy See is limited to the north of the Union of Mercantile City-States. The land west of Caesar's Empire.

Leon quietly listened to Erin and Kaka's description of the Holy See, and suddenly asked, "You say that the Priest Holy See and the Caesar Empire are at odds, but I remember that they seem to have joined forces to fight against the Dark Realm?"

He was asking, of course, about the time when the Archduke of Orleans of Caesar's Empire and the Priesthood of Priesthood united to fight against the Seventh Legion of the Dark Realm, a battle that almost everyone had heard of. At the beginning, in Rock Town, Caterina also used this as an example to educate him.

At that time, the Papal States were still preaching their theories to the surrounding countries. There was no chance of contacting the rising Caesar Empire, and they did have a rather bad feeling towards the Dark Realm, so they hit it off with the Caesar Empire. ”

After listening to Erin's explanation, Leon suddenly said, "So that's the case. ”

"Well, it's not a big deal," Kaka finally said, "Priest is indeed very strong, but as long as they can't get past the Caesar Empire, even if they find it, it's just a small fight." Then there's nothing to worry about, what to be afraid of!"

The young lord was stunned for a moment. Then he showed a puzzled expression, "Ah, I didn't say I'm afraid......"

"Then why do you ask so clearly!" Kaka glared.

"Ahem, I mean, if they dare to come all the way and take Sophia away, it means that they have obtained some information, so there will definitely be something like this in the future," Leon said, "It's not a matter of waiting, and it's impossible to prevent it." ”

"So, I want to find out the strength of the Holy See, and if it is feasible, find a time to find out in person and finish them off completely. ”

The council chamber fell silent again, and everyone was shocked by Leon's words, and even Kaka's eyes widened as if he were looking at his "crazy" apprentice like an idiot.

However, Fiona's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if she admired Leon's courage.

The young man suddenly knew that he was taking it for granted, but he had just thought so. Because judging from Quinine's attitude, it is estimated that some people in the Holy See are determined to win Sophia, and this kind of thing is absolutely unbearable for him, even if he can't do it head-on, he will at least have to find some trouble for those people.

"Is it true?

At this time, the priest girl who couldn't figure out the situation suddenly smiled and spoke, it seems that after the previous events, her confidence in Li Ang has increased by several levels, and it is estimated that it has reached the point of bursting.

"Sophia, don't mess around with Leon," Caterina whispered in the girl's ear at once.

"Oh......" Although Sophia was puzzled, the effect of the knight girl's speech was second only to Leon to her, so although she was a little aggrieved, she still obediently kept her mouth shut.

Erin cleared her throat, glanced at the young man with a smile, and said softly: "It is said that the current Pope St. Francis III has reached the peak of the fifth order fifty years ago, and in addition to the three cardinals, the fifth-order super powerhouses of the Holy See State also have the head of the Knights of God, the president of the Mission Society, the chief judge of the Inquisition, and so on......"

Kaka squinted at the apprentice and snorted coldly: "There may be some super powerhouses who have never shown up, otherwise how could Priest have fought against the Caesar Empire for so many years without being directly destroyed?"

With Erin and Kaka's words, Leon's face darkened a little, he really didn't expect that the strength of the Holy See would surpass the Sver Kingdom in an all-round way, if there was no huge shadow like the Caesar Empire hanging in front of these clergy, maybe the Holy See's sphere of influence would have already become different.

"It seems that if they keep an eye on Sophia, the future will definitely be a big trouble that cannot be ignored," Leon secretly thought, "Fortunately, not only Sophia has been blessed with misfortune this time, but I have also been promoted to the fourth order, plus the others...... Even if there is a super strong person and a half, it is estimated that it is not without a fight. ”

"What's more important is that I met the Ancient Tree of Life, Ellet, if he is there, it is enough to ensure the safety of the territory, so try to save him no matter what. ”

Thinking of this, Leon said: "Let's put aside the matter of Priest, after all, it is estimated that the matter of killing those priests will not leak out for a while, and now I want to talk about another matter, a very important thing." (To be continued......)
